Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : After advancing to special means of travel, how does one rely on his assumption? Regarding this question: What is the ruling on one who eats or has intercourse thinking the sun has set or that the dawn has not appeared, but it turns out to be contrary to his assumption?

The Shaykh : If he breaks his fast on the ground, for example, and then the plane takes off and the sun becomes visible to him, what is the ruling? The ruling is that I do not obligate him to abstain, because when the sun set, his day ended and he broke his fast in accordance with the Shari'ah evidence. And what a person does in accordance with the evidence of the Shari'ah, he is not ordered to repeat it.
